Poetry To Jayanta

Poetry to Jayanta Mahapatra Is imagery and imagism, Sticking to Oriya roots and nativity, A discussion of light and darkness, A visit to the temples and picnic spots, A description of human and rural poverty and hunger, Backwardness and underdevelopment, Human want and scarcity, The asthi-kalasha being immersed in, The pinda-dana being done on the sea beach And the funeral pyre burning, Pictures realistic and bare Of the hungry child, the toiling womankind, The heinous dowry system and its evil impact, The aftermath of freedom And the promises made during Giving away As white lies, false promises Regressing us to the background.
